Comment (by Phyx-):

 Thanks for the patch. We do code reviews on Phabricator (called a
 Differential), could you create an account there
 https://phabricator.haskell.org/ and upload the patch?

 when you do edit this ticket and set the "Differential Rev." field to
 "Phab:D<your_number>" and change the ticket status to patch.

 Also specify a test plan, you will need to provide some test for the
 functionality being added. See
 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/RunningTests/Adding
